"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen that fellow with a bird in his name?"
What was he called again?
Protector Heron? Or Protector Wu?
He might as well call him Protector Bird. What a pain that name was to write.
"Or have you not broken through yet, and he isn't here either?"
"You...!"
Yun Shan was so horrified by those words that his movements slowed. Sun Buxiao kicked him in the shoulder, sending him flying backward with a cry of pain.
Without breaking through to Dou Zong, Yun Shan's strength was still fundamentally no different from before.
"Just who... are you!? Urgh-poison...!"
Yun Shan did not continue attacking. Instead, he stared at Sun Buxiao in bewildered suspicion. Before he could steady himself, however, he felt a sinister, poisonous Dou Qi rampaging through half his body. His own Dou Qi was rapidly dissolving, his arm began to swell, and his skin started to ulcerate at a terrifying speed.
What vicious poison!
He hurriedly sealed the meridians in the left half of his body and forced the toxins out, barely managing to halt the changes.
"Can't remember?"
Sun Buxiao put on a concerned expression.
Hovering in midair, Yun Shan drew a deep breath, a hint of ruthlessness creeping into his expression.
"The Woeful Poison Body... truly terrifying. In that case, I have no choice but to stake everything!"
As he spoke, Yun Shan ignored the poisoned half of his body. A thick wind barrier enveloped him, and he sat cross-legged in midair, closing his eyes. The power of heaven and earth in the air began to churn wildly.
"He's going to-
-"
Jia Xingtian, who had been dazed by Yun Shan's appearance and Sun Buxiao's Woeful Poison Body, suddenly looked shocked. He involuntarily stepped forward, his entire body trembling with agitation.
